fork pivot ball broken off, help

Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:26 am

Ok, the fork pivot ball is not present on the fork, I am able to drive the car until it gets hot, when hot clutch it will not "disengage" or "engage" (not sure, guru's answer this), but if I sit the car for about 20 mins to cool off I am able to drive it for a while, otherwise I only get high RPM's and no go. do I have to take off the whole transmission in order to replace the pivot ball joint on the fork? Is it necessary for that ball joint? Guru's please help/explain.

the pivot ball is in the bell housing screwed into the transmission. the fork has a small cup on it that it pivots on. if the ball is broken off, then that would be the first thing to fix.

how does the cup in the fork look like, do you have any pics of it?
